I think $3 is more than fair for a quality app. My problem with paying for another TapBots app is that they haven’t followed through with updates on their other apps that I paid for. Inder that premise I feel like it’s wrong to give them any more money. Or how about they give me Tweetbot 4 and I’ll stop asking for refunds for their other paid apps that have been abandoned. When the devs get more on the up and up and stop being shady I’ll gladly give them the $3…..

Absolutely. The unique design has disappeared and we’re seeing multiple apps churning out the same pale/white design with the same plain icons. Tweetbot now looks similar to a lot of other apps which is sad. The good thing? It didn’t overwrite Tweetbot 3 and you can still use it.

Tweetbot 4 is actually a lot better than most iOS 10.2 apps. They did a good job not just replacing the old stuff, but adding new little things. There’s subtle little physics things going on. It’s just incredibly well put together. This is what I was hoping for with iOS 10.2 app updates.

I think so. I really enjoy the iOS 10.2 design (I know you are not a fan of it). I do not mention any Android apps in this since I don’t have much experience with it but here is my short list of some of the better designed looking apps in no particular order:

The whole scrapping existing versions of apps and re-releasing the new .0 version which existing users then need to re-purchase seems to be becoming more of a thing. At $2.99 it’s not a big deal, but it is a bit irksome to those who have only purchased the existing version of a given app a few days beforehand.

That said, I initially purchased TweetBot quite some time ago, so in this instance I’m ok with it. Certain other apps doing the same thing (e.g. AirDisplay) I’m not as happy about.
